Quick network connectivity and cabling answers for the frontline technician
Network technicians and desktop
support professionals are the first
line of defense against problems at
the physical and link layers of the
network. They are tasked with resolv-
ing basic connectivity problems fast,
and preventing unnecessary escala-
tions to higher levels.
Today’s connectivity problems
are more complex than ever. Users
demand Gigabit connectivity. IT de-
partments enforce stronger standards
like 802.1X. And technologies like
VoIP and WLAN have given rise to
a greater reliance on PoE for power.
The LinkRunner Pro and Duo recog-
nize this, and empower technicians
to address today’s challenges with
powerful new features and report-
ing capabilities. And, following the
tradition of the original LinkRunner,
they are designed for simplicity and
ease-of-use to ensure rapid deploy-
ment and concise answers.
Vision to resolve a broader range of
today’s link connectivity problems.
That’s Network SuperVision.™ That’s
Fluke Networks’ promise to you.

Empower techs to troubleshoot
gig links
The LinkRunner Pro and Duo are the first
frontline tools to establish links at Gigabit
speeds. That means frontline technicians now
have the power to troubleshoot Gigabit link
problems before they’re escalated to higher
levels, giving network engineers more time to
focus on optimization, planning, and expan-
sion.
Quickly resolve 802.1X
security conflicts
The LinkRunner Pro and Duo not only will
discover the presence of 802.1X, but can also
gain authentication on 802.1X networks. The

Can I negotiate at Gigabit?
Are there 802.1X security conflicts?
Is the DHCP server responding?
Do I have PoE voltage on the
right pairs?
Can I link with key devices or
the Internet?
Which port number am I plugged into?

included LinkRunner Connect Software can be
used to select EAP type, provide certificates,
and enter passwords. Technicians can now
resolve 802.1X conflicts and get users back
up and running fast.
Eliminate guesswork over
port locations
The LinkRunner Pro and Duo are the first con-
nectivity tools to support the new IEEE Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) in addition
to the Cisco and Extreme Discovery Protocols
(CDP and EDP). That allows technicians to
speed problem resolution by precisely locat-
ing the nearest switch model, slot, and port.
Document problems with link
status reports
When no test documentation is available,
closing trouble tickets can be a frustrating
and time-consuming process. Finger point-
ing and redundant testing are just a couple
of the wastes that occur. The LinkRunner Pro
and Duo eliminate these wastes by generat-
ing objective, professional test reports that
can be printed or routed electronically.
